Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it all.I've still got about 2kg to lose this week to try and make the 78kg weight class for Saturday. I managed to get in at just on 80kg for the show last week but it was a struggle.My diet this week is very plain and my calories are pretty low. I had some pasta on Saturday night after the show but have since followed basically the same meals each day.Meal 1 - Sunwarrior (2 scoops), raw cocoa powder (1 tablespoon), coconut butter (10g)Meal 2 - 100g tofu, 2 cups broccoliMeal 3 - Sunwarrior (1 scoop)Meal 4 - Same as meal 2Meal 5 - Aminos during trainingMeal 6 - 1/2 avocado, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, spinach

I'm not adding any seasoning to my foods now, just a little bit of olive oil to the tofu.Supplements are the protein and aminos, vitamin C, 7-keto powder, Tribulus tablets and I'll start on the potassium tablets later in the week when I start the herbal diuretics.I am drinking about 4 litres of water or green tea a day now and will cut it out later in the week and just drink dandelion root tea and sip on a little bit of water.

Thank you MaryStella!Yeah I'm glad it's all finished for now. Don't know if I will look at competing again but I'll never say never.

Had a workout yesterday, trained legs and back. I'm still trying to write up a new program which will be a 3 day split but for now I'm using a 2 day split based around low volume, higher intensity stuff. The type of training I have generally used to get my best results.

Diet is good, more relaxed but pretty clean. I've been making my own raw dark chocolate which is a good snack and a change from the cookies I was making for my pre contest diet.The ingredients are raw cocoa butter, sunwarrior protein, crushed flax seeds, agave nectar, raw almonds and chocolate coconut butter. It's just a matter of slowly melting the cocoa butter and mixing all the ingredients through before putting in the fridge for a bit. Kind of like high protein chocolate.My meals have basically been the same over the last week.Meal 1 - Protein drink - Vega, cocoa powder, flax seeds, maca powderMeal 2 - Lentil burger or tempeh, broccoli, sunflower seedsMeal 3 - Dark chocolate, 50g of pistachiosMeal 4 - Vega sport, aminos, creatine - I drink it on non workout days tooMeal 5 - Lentil burger, broccoli, spinach, chia seedsMeal 6 - Almonds, walnuts, goji berries and raisins

Every few days I might have some wraps or wholemeal spaghetti with Parmazano vegan cheese but for the most part I eat the same. I don't want to put on too much weight, I feel more comfortable around the low 80kg mark.I have just received my comp photos in the post so I'll post some up when I get a chance.

The chocolate is great. I'll post some photos up in the next day or two.

I like your diet and I think it's awesome to see a big dude eating healthy. Thumbs up!

Thanks mate, I think that is what has helped me get in good shape.

do you feel any benefit from it?

I seem to recover pretty well from doing a fair bit of exercise so I think it helps.

I had a workout this morning, chest, shoulders, triceps and abs. Have started a 5/3/1 program, I think looks like a pretty simple routine to follow, it should help boost my strength now that I feel ready to train 100%
